We can't stop.
Shi Jinzhe gritted his teeth and pushed upwards. The barbs on the thorns went back and forth, and even though he had been trained to feel pain amplified by 300%, the thorns and poisonous gas, which had absorbed the power of snake molts, were still unbearable.
Born into this world, Shekh hid her first molted snake skin before she had any concrete consciousness. Even before becoming an individual with independent thought, Shekh already had a rebellious spirit.
What is the purpose of the resistance?
Rebellion is a desire for freedom.
The first time, she lost her divine power because of the queen, and fell from being a god to becoming a monster in the mouths of the villagers.
He was injured a second time because of Bai Weishuang, and his heart was corrupted, turning him cold and ruthless. He was petrified for twenty-six years.
The third time is now. The system wants to erase her personality, take her back, and control her fate again.
If she doesn't resist, she'll do it a fourth time.
Shi Jinzhe didn't want to see it happen a fourth time, even if it left him battered and bruised, he was determined to do it.
His gradually losing form reached upwards. He realized that a tree could grow so tall. He couldn't tell if the sharp thorns in his eyes were the giant thorny tree stopping him, or if he was seeing double due to the severity of his injuries.
When he was exhausted, he finally encountered a black snake skin. Shi Jinzhe carefully pulled it back, afraid of any accident.
Walking on the treetops with such a body was like walking a tightrope. The branches of the giant thorn tree were the same size as ordinary trees. When he was about to take away the last part of the snake skin, a strange sound came from behind him.
He turned around and looked for a long time in a daze, but saw nothing, so he turned back.
Two sharp spikes that suddenly grew longer came straight at him and pierced his eyes with a "plop!"
Suddenly, two lines of bright red blood dripped down rapidly, the thorn was swiftly withdrawn, and Shi Jinzhe leaned back slightly. He quickly regained his balance with sheer willpower, stiffening his hands and resisting the conditioned reflex of pain to clench his fist.
He was still holding the snake's molted skin; he couldn't afford to drop it.
His face, deathly pale, was covered in cold sweat as he frantically tried to reconstruct the thorny path he had seen before he went blind.
However, the departure of the snake's molt made the giant thorn tree feel threatened. It did not intend to let Shi Jinzhe go so easily. Its rapidly changing shape made it difficult to stand, and it almost fell down several times.
What saved him was the thorny branch around his waist that had sucked Jin's blood. Considering the few mouthfuls of blood, it didn't let go, but it didn't do anything more either. It only helped Shi Jin break off the tree crown and then left him alone.
Shi Jinzhe knew he couldn't get any more help, so he rolled up the snake skin and groped his way down. Unexpectedly, the twisted tree trunk also changed, wrapping around his ankle and throwing him away with a bang.
The shock from the fall from a height dislocated his internal organs. Shi Jinzhe struggled to breathe, propped himself up on his elbows, but collapsed again as soon as his body left the ground.
The impact of losing his sight was too great; he couldn't see anything and anxiously checked on the snake skin. When he discovered that his left hand, which was holding the snake skin, was numb, he realized that his other arm had been broken.
The tumbling thorns rushed towards him again. Shi Jinzhe felt a gust of wind pass by his ear. His first reaction was to quickly protect the snake skin with his right hand, but an unexpected tearing occurred on his body. A piercing pain came from his left shoulder, and his body fell to the right. Then he heard something fall to the ground.
The brambles, which had been raised, fell heavily as it tried to retrieve the snake's molt. Shi Jinzhe, unable to find it in time, curled up to protect the molt.
Unexpectedly, the brambles stopped.
A small water snake slithered down from the treetop and landed on Shi Jinzhe's body, flicking its tongue twice.
The giant thorn tree was particularly protective of snakes; the small water snake coiled up beside it, and its attack ceased.
The cave was filled with the smell of blood. He was so wounded that he had completely forgotten the existence of life force, yet he still remembered that he had to send Shekh her snake skin.
As his body disappeared, Shi Jinzhe's entire body was covered in blood, with drops of blood from his eyelashes and hair dripping onto the ground. He tried to get up several times but failed.
The blood in his mouth wouldn't stop; he had suffered severe internal injuries, his bones were deformed and embedded in his internal organs, and there were countless puncture wounds caused by thorns. His severed arm lay nearby, and he was soaking in blood, a horrifying sight.
Without uttering a sound of pain, he desperately inhaled air, completely unaware that his blood had soaked through the snake skin in his arms.
An unspeakable pain raged through his bones and blood, constantly tormenting him with a single thought.
We can't stop...
If we can't do this, everything else is just empty talk.
When all else fails, the only thing that can keep you going is faith.
We need to find Shekh...
This belief sustained him and also drew him to the snake molt from Shekh.
It found a familiar scent on Shi Jinzhe, and actively clung to him, only to be immediately locked onto by [Order Reconstruction].
A strange power that breaks through the rules merges into a firm belief. Under the guidance of inner demons, the life force that was locked away by time is pushed away because it is useless, and the distance between the two words "gift" and "life" begins to grow further and further apart.
The self-inflicted suffering he had deliberately brought about was beginning to show results, and he lay on the ground regaining some of his senses.
That's what he's going to do.
He needs to find Shekh and, before the system reacts, make this skill card generate a second possibility under the [Order Reconstruction] bonus.
Only skills untouched by the system can bring it the greatest surprise.
Only when he rises to a higher position can he give Shekh the greatest boost.
The concept of "赋" (fù) is no less than that of "生" (shēng), and this word is equally broad.
Shi Jinzhe pressed his still-movable hand to his forehead, breathing heavily, looking like he was about to die.
The two characters are not completely separated yet, and there are still limitations. At present, we can only do simple remedial work.
A hoarse voice echoed through the cave as he said:
"I will...I will possess...the most unbreakable...willpower..."
Power was injected into his limbs and bones, and his strengthened belief supported him as he pushed himself up from the ground.
"I give myself the ability to see everything clearly."
The darkness before his eyes receded, and his five senses returned immediately after he finished speaking. His sixth sense was strengthened, and he regained his senses.
"...Without violating my natural talent, even withered trees can flourish."
The ruptured internal organs slowly healed, the rate of blood loss gradually slowed, and eventually, the patient regained the ability to move.
He closed his eyes to sense the situation. Because the energy was exhausted, the healing effect was far slower and less effective than the regeneration, but this state of being on the verge of death was exactly what he wanted.
Unwilling to waste any more time, Shi Jin carefully took the snake skin and began to walk unsteadily.
With his arm bent, he held the snake molt in one hand, his palm pressed against his heart, where there was another unused double prop, the cursed red thread.
